1998 CUTLASS GL
I tians in Ethiopia — even the coun-
,-) try's prime minister — could consid-
er themselves to be direct descen-
dants of Jews.
Israel is concerned that if "Israel
assists them, that millions of
Ethiopians would turn to the Jewish
state for refuge from their country's
grinding poverty and escalating war
with neighboring Eritrea.
"Addis is proving to be a road to
Jerusalem," said Granot. "Operation
Solomon created a precedent that is
a never-ending one."
When the operations close down,
any who believe they have a right to
immigrate to Israel will have to apply
to the Israeli Embassy in Ethiopia
the way any non-Jew would.
Others dispute the view that the
; stream of Falash Mura would be end-
less.
A survey of the country's remain-
ing Falash Mura in 1992 recorded
25,000 names, said Avshalom Elitzur
of South Wing to Zion. Fewer than
15,000 remain in Ethiopia, most of
whom have first-degree relatives in
Israel, he said.
The notion that there would be an
"endless stream" of Falash Mura into
Israel "is a myth cultivated in Israel
by those who are trying to frighten
people" who don't like the idea of
more black people there, he said.
Rabbi Moshe Waldman, the repre-
sentative of Israel's Chief Rabbinate
who deals with the Ethiopian immi-
gration, agrees. "It is absolutely a
question of color," he said, pointing to
the hundreds of thousands of people
from the former Soviet Union who do
not claim to be Jewish but have been
permitted entry by Israel.
